Ask HN: Generating sales leads for hacking jobs

2 points by poppysan 17y ago ↗ HN

I have just taking steps to start my own company to sell the web development services of myself and my 12 friends, who are now my employees. I have a few long-time clients, but I am looking to get some new jobs coming in so I don't lose my hat.

Any tips for an individual used to just word of mouth that needs to feed 12 mouths now. FYI, I am thinking of hiring 4 dedicated sales people as well, if needed. Any input is appreciated!

Try subscribing to the computer gigs and jobs section on craigslist for your city and surrounding areas. I watch it for contract jobs in my specialty. I see a lot of web stuff float that way as well.

Advertise your services on HN :)

Seriously, send me an email to silent.watcher[-at-]gmail.com. I need some web development done, and if it works out I'll probably have several other leads for you.
